Great if they get it working but as apple is not intrested in this (although could be a good market for them, just bare hardware) this will always lag way behind because of the amount of work that reverse engenering takes, apple will be on the m3 by the time the m1 will be up and running 100% (cpu, gpu, network) with linux.

But lets hope i am wrong 😀

The good news is that Epic will not be locking it down to their systems

for now.*

Why would they? If EAC and other acquisitions are to go by, they have no interest in locking SDK's and services pertinent to other game engines to their platform because if anything, it helps them. They indirectly benefit from contracts made by RAD and others.

It looks to me like they are building up an ecosystem, to then lock it down:

1. All tools/assets needed to develop games with big market share are being bought. Or at least influenced as much as possible.

2. Include them in an ecosystem (Unreal Engine as base)

3. Lock it down to Epic Games Store or at least make it hard and expensive to publish somewhere else.

Linux gamers will of course only be collateral damage.

In the long long run i think you might be right, but i am also pretty sure that developers using other engines then unreal will be looking for alternatives so in the long long run rad will be forgotten and unreal engine will have it incorperated and other engines will have something else.

Quoting: BumadarI guess we been on linux for about the same amount of time, but funny enough i always sticked to opensuse as i felt it was the best kde distro, and yes i also reached the point where i felt it was boring, but right around that time tumbleweed started and i never looked back. At first it was tricky with an nvidia card but it gotten a bit easier once they gotten an nvidia repo for tumbleweed, i can only remember 2 issues with this rolling release, the bigest being when it took ages for nvidia to fix an issue with a new kernel. On new pc i went with an amd gfx card and the only other issue was one with vbox (need it for work). But overall its an amazingly stable rolling release wich is really close to new stuff.

Funny enough for work i now run a few ubuntu headless servers, still getting used to apt but am happy about things like systemd, in many ways it makes diffrent distro a lot closer together.

Is Tumbleweed not systemd based?

Yes, sorry i was not clear, i meant that i found getting stuff working on a lower level (timers, services) was exacly the same now thanks to systemd, on a low level the distros are not tnat diffrent anymore compared to 10 years ago.

Quoting: BielFPsDoes it work with PS4 and no internet? (using only local connection)

A friend of mine want to use his old notebook as a monitor for his ps4, and this program could help him.

It only needs a local network, so ps4 and pc need to be able to find each other.
Your linux firewall might be an issue (it is on my tumbleweed install).

Yes, know what you mean, seen that too, but its feels fine tbh, guess its plastic vs plastic and not metal so wear and tear is less. But time will tell.

The ... for lack of a better word ... diffrent resistance on the R2 and L2 of the ps5 controller is amazing, been ages something actually new came to controllers. Now waiting for games to start using it except the demo game 😀

Not clear that is supported yet here

Quoting: BumadarI dont want to sound negative or anything, its a serious question :)

How come there is so much attention for stadia, i understand it runs on linux but its not really bringing (native) games to our beloved OS and i personally don't expect any of these aaa publisher to bring their now on stadia working games to linux. So from my point of view its another system like windows or ps4 or xbox.

As i said, its a serious question, maybe i am missing something :)

Buma.

So then don't cover WINE, Browser Based Games or any other game that you can play on Linux unless it's native? Why ask why? If you want to promote Linux native gaming, post in place like the forums or reddit or what not about your favorites to raise awareness about'em.

Stadia works on Linux. Uses Linux. You can game with it easily. Gaming On Linux seems fitting. There are sources for just Linux Native gaming, if that's exactly what you're looking for.

I've had a blast on Stadia but I still buy my DRM-FREE Linux native titles on GOG, Humble Bundle and itch.io first and foremost. The coverage of Stadia here has been great and has opened the door for more of my friends to not only game more but switch to Linux permanently for games like D2 that now runs without issue on Linux via Stadia.

Sorry made you upset, it was a question, not an attack.
Wine, proton, dbox etc you run on your system, i see thwt as something diffrent then a streaming service, so that is why i asked, its cool that stadia uses linux, just like its cool the ps4 uses bsd, but it i dont see any of that comming downstream so i wondered if that was the reason. But if the reason is simply that the streaming works out of the box, cool.

As i said a question to understand the reason, nothing more.

Not much will change in the short run, long run this is bad, licenses will be changed by nvidia as they now both own arm and will get more arm devices themselves and thus compete with the same people they sell licenses to. I guess risc v no longer sounds as bad for a lot of companies.
